steam veggies in rice cooker
I don't remember where I learned this, but it's a neat trick for fast weeknight dinners. If you have a rice cooker, you can steam veggies in it while the rice is cooking. Cook the rice as usual and wash/cut your veggies while it gets started. When the rice is cooked enough to just have a solid layer on top, add the veggies and close again. Play with it a little; the veggies can cook more or less depending on how you chop them and when you add them. To take it up a notch, sometimes I toss the veggies with a light marinade or sauce before adding to the rice cooker. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
